London's best review, food and drink news
I'm a young and funloving adventurer with a Latin spirit and lots of passion! I enjoy trying new things, experiencing different cultures, and...
Truly the worst Vietnamese meal I’ve ever eaten. Last year I was lucky enough to work on a cookbook with experience in a professional Vietnamese kitchen in London – this rather spoilt me slightly. Eating Vietnamese food in London can often be reminiscent of eating Indian food here in the 1970s. So, why is the restaurant PHO so bad? The Bang Xio was like a hard greasy taco shell, the Nuoc Cham tasted like red dish water. The Pho, and noodles, and “curry” were vapid, with meat that tasted as if it had been frazzled-black several hours ago- like bits of show leather. All in all, truly appalling food. The range of beer was good and the Saigon beer was the tastiest item on the menu by far. The staff were professional, courteous and very friendly – but he food was so bad I went home and cooked for myself.
Pho is my favourite restaurant in Clerkenwell hands down, I am officially addicted to their Hot and Spicy Chicken soup and visit up to three times a week, along with the other thousands of people you now have to queue with to get a seat it is now so popular. You can eat here very cheaply and feel warm and fuzzy inside after a visit, highly, highly recommended. The pork spring rolls and summer rolls are also a mouth watering treat.
WOW!!!! This is theeee most amazing health kick take away in the area!!! Love it guys keep up the work. Thier should be Pho on every high street! :))
